Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.
It happens the first time, and several times throughout the week as your character goes about their new routine. The sound of machine-like whirring, deep within their cranium, like a computer that’s in the midst of processing some new information. Then, there’s the familiar ping of a new public message, and whatever you were thinking about at that point of time will be plastered on the network, for all to read and react to. Daydreaming about ponies at work? Having a fun night out at a club? Regretting said night out at the club? Falling into a deep depression about how your life has turned out so far? It doesn’t matter when or where, because the system doesn’t discriminate. You’ll soon find the thoughts you were having during those moments posted on the network and it won’t be possible to delete.
"The system is updating … ... The system is updating … "
That’s the only explanation SYNTHIA will give when prodded or asked to take down a post. She’s not too helpful at this moment.
"Yeah, sorry. She gets temperamental like that sometimes. I can’t really do anything about your business being out there. But it’s pretty funny, right? Looks like you got hella wrecked last night. Good for you."
Welcome to our first Network Mingle! This is a TFLN-inspired mingle that’s been tweaked to make it completely canon to the game. Due to a glitch in the system, random thoughts that characters might be having throughout the week will be registered as network posts and posted in public for all to see and respond to. This can happen at any time as they wander around the main base or different Neo Tokyo locations!
HOW TO PLAY: 1. Write out prompts (example below) for others to respond to. These can be thoughts they’re having in bed, at work, while intoxicated or what-have-you. You can look up shower thoughts or TFLN as inspiration, but remember that this will be game canon so it has to be written in your character’s voice. 2. Go around and respond to others! 3. ??? 4. PROFIT!
Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.
We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun!

For the most part. I'm still figuring out when and where the staff will be going at a designated time and place so that I can sneak past them without any problems.
[ hold up, let her pull up the map of the main base for a hot second... ]
We should at least talk about this in person first, lay out all possible entry and exit points. Although, maybe we could utilize the hologram feature so that nobody's gonna wonder what we're up to.
Either way, we don't have to do this right now. There's still a lot to consider when it comes to... ahem. Testing our skills.
That shouldn't be too hard. I doubt that it'd be too suspicious meeting up with a fellow outsider. [ but, it's not like he doesn't have faith in the hologram feature. ] If you don't want to come over, we can always take it somewhere else too.
What skills are you most wanting to test? Are you bringing any weapons?
Mm, I'll be bringing one just to be safe. Someone actually tried to mug me while I was out alone at night, but it turned out to be my teammate. Long story.
[ izou... ]
Maybe the greenhouse? There's a nice view up top that we can use as a vantage point.
Huh? Me planning to get a second job had nothing to do with that guy. I just wanted more sources of incone and my being a sailor here is practically useless because of how ruined the sea has become, so...
[ yeah. ]
I'll let you know whenever I'm ready to set out then. Thanks.
I don't think it's useless. It's probably true they still need eyes on the coast. Besides, I don't think I'm in a much better boat with my job either.
[ yeah. ]
👌 Sounds good.
If you meet another mugger, even if they're a teammate, I wouldn't say it's a bad call to do what you want with them. [ we support violence in this household. ]

[ he's jk, he wouldn't tell anyway. ]
But, have you figured out the layout?

You're welcome to go alone. I just thought it'd be easier since our interests align.

This might be a good time to test our skills outside of simulation.
[ which actually could be fun...
what's a better bonding activity than breaking the rules. ]

Does he know you're considering a second job? [ what money is he stealing... jokes aside— ] Looks like there are desperate people everywhere.
[ no.... ]
Sure. I'll follow your lead on this one.

[ SIGH ]
But you know what, you're right. I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time that guy tries to make a jump on me again.
[ watch out, izou... ]
